Fish Culture.

DR.. Jas. E. Haines has leased for
term of Is years, Mr.. Job Haines'
mill pond for the purpose of raising
German Carp for the Philadelphia
and other markets, and turned into
the pond last week ten thousand
young fry from the propagating ponds
of E. H. Reynolds.
Mr.. Haines expects the fish to be
ready to market by the fall of 1888,
and the following season he expects
to ship a car load a week during the
months of August and September.
When the fish are ready for seining
a patrol will be kept on guard at
night, and poachers will receive a
warm reception who venture on this
fish preserve. Fish raising is destin-
ed to become one of the most impor-
tant sources of food production in
the not distant future

The Law and Order League of Port
seem to have relapsed into the old
time apathy and the pear cider men
are coming out of their holes again,
growing more and more bold. For,
merly the charge was made that the
old "locai option" law was so loose
in its joints that it wouldn't hold
even tramp, and when stronger
law could be had the Temperance
sentiment" promised to clerk" the
violators. The Temperance senti.
ment' in other quarters are inquir-
ing when the jerking is likely to be-
gin. The rear cider brigade paint
the town, smash lamps, hold circuses
in the street and amuses itself with
sundry little pleassntries of this
kind. but the League doesn't "rise TO
remark" Guess the Temperance
sentiment" of that town must like
cider too.

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when in perfect health, but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving up
disheartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling as every sufferer can easily OBJ
tain satisfactory proof, that GREEN'S august
Hower, will make them free from disease as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
are the direct causes of seyenty.fiye per
cent of such maladies as Biliousness, Indi-
gestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Ner-
vous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other dis
tressing symptoms. Three doses of AGgus

Saml. Ryan's class was represented

class had q we'll, and an old time
sweep representing the "water of
Life"; Mrs. Jewell's class was repre-
sented by the "Malteese Cross" the
sign of victory of the early saints,
also the sign of the length, breadth,
depth and height OF the love of God"
Miss Lizzie Stephens class had the
United States flag made of beautiful
flowers. 1t was very much admired,
being very popular in this place; the
Pastors class had light house, sew

Childrens DaY.

The NJ. E. Church of this place
was filled to it's utmost capacity last
Sunday to witness the services of
the children on that occasion.
Heavens choicest sunlight mingled
with delightful breeze contributed
much to the occasion. The summer
attire of the children blended with
the scene of the flowers of various
hue; the whole was pretty picture
long to be remembered by us all.
The programme prepared by the New
York Book Concern was used. The
service was opened by singing "the
Children's Festal Song" prayer was
then offered by the Past or, Rev. /.
Jewell. The Scripture Acrostic was
very prettily recited by 18 of the
small children. The dialogue of four
girls representing Springs little yoic.
es was nicely rendered, Mamie
Ryan also gave recitation. The di.
alogue ofthe Traveller by eight young
ladies was excellently performed.
Master Frank Kirk gave collection
speech in his inimitable style. The
singing was of a high order and was
we'll received. Miss Rhoda Wilson
sang solo, Consider the Lilies" in
fine style and to the delight of her
many friends. The chancel and re-.
cess of the church we're beautifully
decorated with evergreens, flowers
and ferns. The designs gotten up
by the various classes were especially
suiting. Mrs. Ryan's class had the
"all-seeing eye"; Mrs. Stephens class
a "heart' made of beautiful flowers; !;
Mrs. Mahan's class the bow and ar
rows" she is teaching the young idea
how to shoot; J. T. McCullough's
class the rainbow indicating they

The Agricultural College.

We publish from the american
Farmer an account of a meeting held
on the 26th of May at this institution,
which is not college where agricul-
ture is taught either in theory or
practice-or for that matter anything
else.-Every farmer should read the
account of this farce which will be
found in our agricultural department,
as told by Mr.. Sands, editor of the
Farmer. $1,000 of public money is
squandered in this rookery yearly,
which in place of being benefit is a
disgrace to the farmers of the state.
No candidate for the legislature
fA lseif H should receive vote -fFAns -fff.F,
the farmers who is not pledged to
uproot and reorganize this so called
college, by cutting loose from it the
appropriation, when it would collapse
of its own -ottenness. Let this be
one Of the pledges exacted of the can
didates for legislative honors this
fall. This roost for dead beat pol
iticians should be wiped out. A
strenuous effort will be made by the
controllers of this octapus to get hold
Of the U. S. Government appropria-
tion to the state for the purpose of
establishing experimental stations,
and we want men in the legislature
who know enough and care enough
for the interests of the farmers, to be
able and ready to defeat all further
schemes for plunder, through this
counterfeit college, and either organ.
ize the concern on an entirely new
basis-or wipe out all connection
with it as state institution. This
miscalled Agricultural College is one
of the most stupendots frauds in
the State.

Our Washington Letter

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington June 18th, 1887.
Not the least among the advantages that
the city of Washington enjoys. is its situa-
tion on the Potomac Biver, and its easy ac-
cess to places of historical interest, as we'll
as resorts of pleasure, along its shores.
Comfortable excursion steamers, after
first passing the beautiful arsenal grounds,
where several batteries of artill cry are
now quartered,-reach Alexandria, a port
OF entry, seven miles below. with popula-
tion between 10000 and $4,000.
The river at this point is mile and a
half wide, forming harbor able to accom-.
modate the largest ships.
